Hier die aktuellen Bandnews für das Roskilde Festival – dieses Mal mit einer Hand voll englischer Indie-Bands:
ARCTIC MONKEYS’ status is miraculously intact after an intense tour schedule with their tradition-bound yet refreshing rock. The spring album Favourite Worst Nightmare will, judging from the first single releases, outclass the debut album – so these polar boys will yet again prove that our blue and green planet is indeed the Planet of the Apes.
CAMERA OBSCURA is an intellectual indie band hooked on catchy choruses and tragicomic lyrics.
HOLLY GOLIGHTLY explores warm, acoustic folk, organ-based pop and country-blues – and she delivers the goods live as she does on an already gloriously long series of albums.
TUNNG lean on the indietronica scene and acts such as Four Tet and The Beta Band, but their anachronistic collision between Fairport Convention and electronic dissonances and samples place the Brits in their very own category.
Metal’n’roll on the Orange Stage:
VOLBEAT (DK) – The band has enthused fans with its latest album, the terrific Rock the Rebel / Metal the Devil. The album title demonstrates the band’s mix of rock’n’roll and metal – so this year Roskilde Festival opens with a both popular and genre-challenging rock act.

und genau wie die Arctic Monkeys im letzten Jahr einer der ganz großen Newcomer waren, kann man vielleicht dieses Jahr beim Roskilde auf der Newscomer-Stage (nennt sich Pavillion Junior) die neuen Stars für nächstes Jahr entdecken… mit dabei sind schon:
This year there are lots of danceable rock music on Pavilion Junior. THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA (DK), TURBOWEEKEND (DK) and UNGDOMSKULEN (N) each offer unique interpretations of the popular new rave genre which is also represented on the big stages with British band Klaxons as the front-runner.
Recently torn-down Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen was a musical hotbed and a platform for lots of exciting bands. GORILLA ANGREB (DK) and the mischiefs in SORT STUE MED PIRATKOR (DK) are given temporary shelter at Roskilde Festival now that they are homeless.
There are also peculiar and inventive energies at stake from the Danish Balkan pirates ANALOGIK (DK), romantic and mild electronic sounds from DETEKTIVBYRÅN (S), Swedish party rock from FOREST & CRISPIAN (S) and chaotic ideas from the original metal band KLOAK (DK).
Other acts on Pavilion Junior are 1234 (DK), AS IN REBEKKAMARIA (DK), ATOI (DK), CHOIR OF YOUNG BELIEVERS (DK), THE DOWNWARD CANDIDATE (DK), HIGHWAY CHILD (DK), KASPER SPEZ (DK), LAZEE (S), HØGNI LISBERG (FO), MARYBELL KATASTROPHY (DK) and MIT NYE BAND (DK).
